Celebrating 15 Years of Performance Following the resounding success of the Australian World Orchestra’s 2025 season, Alexander Briger returns with Australia’s finest for an unforgettable 2026 program. The AWO celebrates its 15th Anniversary with two 20th-century masterpieces and the world premiere of Songs for the Stranger — a song cycle inspired by the Opera Eucalyptus by Jonathan Mills, featuring Australian tenor Michael Petruccelli. Stravinsky’s Petrushka bursts with colour and vitality, its tragic puppet hero glowing through dazzling orchestration. Mills’s Songs for the Stranger fuses modern textures with emotional immediacy, evoking the Australian soundscape... Do not miss a night of brilliance, beauty and breathtaking orchestral storytelling — a true celebration of the AWO performing at its peak. Presented by Australian World Orchestra
